This is the first in a series of two videos where I demonstrate how to create a two sided Potpourri Bowl from idea to reality using the 3D modeling capabilities of Vectric’s Aspire software. In this first video I will take you step-by-step through the process of how to model a bowl to hold potpourri. But, this lesson is not limited to this type of bowl. It is detailed enough that you should be able to create other bowls with the knowledge gained. Only your imagination will be the limit. What You Will Learn: 👉 How to create the components on both sides to make the potpourri bowl. This knowledge…

This is part 2 of a 2 part video series where I design and carve a Deviled Egg Tray in the shape of a Christmas Tree with BAMX material. BAMX is a special multicolored wood product that can be used for woodworking products to present a unique design. This video focuses on carving a deviled egg tray that I designed in vectric vCarve Pro software. I am using a Laguna IQ Pro CNC to carve the design. I am using a combination of toolpaths for carving efficiency and effectiveness that Ryan Drapela shared with me. If you have not see the video where I design the deviled egg tray in…

This is part 1 of a 2 part video series where I designed a Deviled Egg Tray in the shape of a Christmas Tree with BAMX material. BAMX is a special multicolored wood product that can be used for woodworking products to present a unique design. Part 2 of this video the physical carving of this tray can be found at:    • Step by Step: Carving a Deviled Egg T…   This video focuses on the design fundamentals and application for making a deviled egg tray using Vectric’s vCarve software. In the 2nd video I will use the software design to carve the deviled egg tray on my Laguna IQ CNC. What you’ll learn in this video ➡️ How…

Short quick video to share what is going on with Rob Sandstrom Design Channel work efforts today 01-22-2025. Seeing if people are interested in this type of information sharing and video. Let me know if it is worth the effort to put out this kid of video for people that are wanting to follow the channel. Provide comments or suggestions. I love to pass on knowledge and skills Learned. My quest with this channel is to Share knowledge and skills that I have obtained and Inspire others to learn new things and use that knowledge to make cool stuff. Don’t let fear get in the way of success.

This is part 4 of a video series where I designed a Christmas ornament in vCarve and then demonstrate how to take that design and be able to produce the ornament using a CNC router, a Laser Machine, or print it on a 3D printer. In this video I demonstrate how to make the ornament designed in vCarve Pro by using Fusion 360 to create a multiple colored #3d project than can be imported directly into Bambu Studio. Then I share how to take the parts and assign multiple colors in Bambu Studio. If you haven’t seen the first video “How to Use vCarve to Design Ornaments that can be…

This is part 3 of a video series where I design a Christmas ornament in vCarve and then demonstrate how to take that design and be able to produce the ornament using a CNC router, a Laser Machine, or print it on a 3D printer. In this video I demonstrate how to make the ornament on a CO2 Laser using the vCarve template file we produced in the first video. I ended up cutting 3 ornaments before having a successful engrave and cut. This makes the video longer than if it all went smoothly – but truth is that these projects don’t always go as smoothly as we would like.…

This video is a quick tutorial on how you can move your designs with accuracy when moving a full design or design elements. What you’ll learn in this video ➡️ How to accurately move designs using grid lines and snapping ➡️ How to move designs using the Move Tool in Absolute mode ➡️ How to move designs using the Move Tool in Relative Mode

This is part 2 of a video series where I design a Christmas ornament in vCarve and then demonstrate how to take that design and be able to produce the ornament using a CNC router, a Laser Machine, or print it on a 3D printer. In this video I demonstrate how to make the ornament on a CNC router using the vCarve template file we produced in the first video. if you haven’t seen the first video it is strongly recommended you watch that video first. That video can be seen at the link below:    • How to Use vCarve to Design Ornaments…   The series of videos along with other holiday video ideas will be listed in…

In this video, I will dive into my process for creating holiday ornaments that once designed can be cut on a CNC router, with a Laser Machine, or printed on a 3D printer. This is the first in a series of videos that I will provide. These will be listed in the Playlist:    • Holiday Ideas   This video focuses on the designing of the ornaments and exporting the designs in formats that will allow the design to be imported into Lightburn Software, Fusion 360, Tinkercad and other software that can create STLs for 3D printing. The follow-up videos will go through the process of cutting the design on the CNC, cutting the…

I will share some thoughts on how I make ornaments – CNC – Laser – 3D printing. If time works out will show Vectric, Lightburn, and Fusion and how I use each of these. It will be just how I do it with some initial fundamental thoughts.
